Been loving this series but this was the best episode so far. As a genderfluid drag performer myself could really relate to some of the things in this episode and it certainly hit on some emotional scales. Only episode I've gone back and watched again

This is one of my top 3 Mentalist episodes in the whole show, and anyone who watched it at least once knows that it's tough competition. This one is original, perfectly written, deep, with an engaging plot and three-dimensional characters. A great episode in an already great series. It is beyond me how some people may undervalue its quality simply on account of the theme they consider "woke" or "leftist" (whatever these words mean to them).

And let me say, Simon Baker was born to play Patrick Jane. Can't imagine anyone else in this role. I hope there will never be a remake of "Mentalist". Not needed.

Excellent culmination of plot and character developments. Uplifting and inspiring!

Best one of this entire series. Very deep and well-written. The supposed ending was already satisfying enough given the storyline, and then the plot-twist makes it even better. Masterpiece, way above average for a show that's already pretty good.

The standard for The Mentalist is always high in every season - well-written story and characters, clever, surprising, and consistently so. This episode had heart in a way that police procedurals don't typically have. The crime story is excellent, but that's not the entire story. It brings you into the lives of people - and people not everyone might know or take entirely seriously and provokes emotions one doesn't expect to have in the police genre. This one was truly exceptional.
